Prohibits Wheeler Township from reviewing, approving, or allowing data center projects for one year while it studies possible new rules.Wheeler Township Temporary Data Center Moratorium

What this means

The measure would impose a one-year pause on data-center permitting, approval, construction, and installation while the township studies possible new rules (one-year moratorium on data-center activity). That would substantially delay new centers and expansions, so it fits the severe-restriction range for a temporary moratorium of 24 months or less.
